About

This is the first hour of our game. Find new items, combine them together, explore the real world and the cyberspace, talk with other characters AND ABOVE ALL HAVE A GREAT FUN! :)

This demo is available for PC in English. Full version of the game will be released on PC, MAC, Linux and maybe ANDROID.

The Year 3102. Humanity has reached a level of technology that has allowed them to spread through the entire galaxy. For the galactic government, such a large population was very difficult to control. They wanted to invent a system that would control people more directly.

In the far corners of the Milky Way, an expedition of scientists got lost on its way home. What they found was something not made by humans. The ship looked like an organic root. Aliens who lived on it had been dead for a long time. It had hung in space and waited for its moment in time. Technology not of this world.

There was a man who managed to decipher a large part of the technology left behind by the aliens, the genius Alfred Nebula. He developed specialized nanobots that not only knew the human body perfectly and could heal it, but also affect its moods and thoughts. Alfred was horrified by how powerful his invention was, and destroyed the results of his studies and the prototypes of nanobots. However, he did not destroy everything.

Thirty years have since passed, and the danger is closer than ever. Our hero, a stalwart space courier, has just fought off an attack by murderous space pirates. Damages to his ship have forced him to land on Venice Blue, a planet that should be an abandoned rock. He's goal is to get off this damn planet ASAP. But he can't help reflect on the recent battle, and the discovery that he is somehow involved in a vast intrigue which can threaten and change the whole of the human race. As much as he feels that the chances of such a thing happening were so cosmically small, he knows that not only is it true, but that he has already been changed by it.

Shadow Of Nebula is a very deep, emotional story. We spent a lot of time writing, discussing all plots, puzzles and designing mini games. We drank a few cisterns of coffee, tea and most power full drinks in the whole galaxy to make it great and be able to give you very unique and memorable storyline.

What about graphic? So we wanted to create our unique art style with hand-drawn details. Something that the game will be easily associated with. The final version of Shadow Of Nebula will have almost 100 backgrounds.

Space Port - ground level

...and what about spaceships? Will be :)

Player's ship

Space stations? Ok.

Orbital Space Station

But... the first were some sketches

Space Port Upper Level

There will also be some challenging puzzles. Don't worry, if you are an observant person then you'll find some valuable clues how to solve them.

We wanted to create a game with the spirit of old classic adventure games but with our unique world and ideas.

We have created parallel world in our game called cyberspace. You can go there whenever you want. All events from the cyberspace will affect events in the real world and vice versa. Cyberspace looks like if everything was created from some kind of light object mixed with holograms. Imagine that you have an implanted cyberspace chip somewhere under your skin. The only thing which you need to access to it, is to think about it and that's it. You are in another, digital world. A world created by holograms and lights. There you can jump to the other parts of the cyberspace. For example you want to meet with your friend. Just think about it and now you are with your friend talking and having a great fun.

Cyber Room

The Infocube is another feature which you will find in our game. This is some kind of personal digital media center. What is it? It's your mailbox, private diary and encyclopaedia about technology in our world.

Dialogs. We put a lot of work in our dialog trees. This is a very complicated process because you need to prepare answers to every single sentence which NPC will speak and we didn't want to create simple dialogs. Especially if you want to write an interesting story and not to have the player bored by the way. We made very extensive dialog trees. How extensive? - you ask. Look at the image below. Yellow boxes are NPC and light blue boxes are our hero.

One of the dialog trees

Our hero is a space pilot but he has a great knowledge of technology. That's why we designed some mini games for you to solve. For example the cyberspace scanner which you can find in our demo version.

Cyberspace sacnner

Of course, there is a lot of items which you'll be able to pick up, use on some elements of scene or just combine them together to create another item.

Risks and challenges

Bisonia is a really small indie developer group. Each of us has own work and own private life. But we are dedicated to this project as much as we can. We believe in Shadow Of Nebula. This game has a special place in our hearts.

Our producer is already working as a game developer. He has 6 years experience in creating video games. Ewa can draw anything. She is a big fan of computer games, especially of science fiction genre. Krzysztof is a very experienced composer and story teller. He loves writing stories, screenplays, creating game worlds and inventing crazy ideas. Rafał is working at light speed :) He's really fast in designing new locations. Paweł is a very experienced sound engineer. Go and find him on soundcloud :) He's doing a great job and his experience from working with movies and video games gives us a professional feedback in sound and music ground.

Why do I write about our team instead of writing of risks and challenges. Because we are friends for years and I'm confident that with these people and with your help supporting this campaign we will make this game great and extremely fun to play.
